Fightman,
I am sorry to hear you are still having troubles. What led you to conclude it was the injectors? I would be surprised more than 1 failed. Many of us are still on stock injectors at > 175k miles. How much was the full set of injectors, a few hundred bills?
I hate to see someone throwing a lot of cash into parts that might not fix the issue.
So the eBay seller doesn't want them back? I am not surprised since any car part used once is unsellable as new.
:redbrick:
The reason I know it's the injectors he sent me is, when I install my old ones, leaving only one if his, the truck runs fine. It only seems to do it when his are installed in there.
The injectors I speak of, are Refurbished Denso fuel injectors, but for some reason they flow way too much, and flood the engine at start up.
He as since emailed me back, advising that he will refund me the $40.00. I sent him this in response:
"Chris,
Thanks for your response. I don't see the e-mail in my inbox...but that is here nor there. I've had a chance to intensively test the truck today, and have found the Hard Start issue has returned again. Again, only when the truck has been driven, parked for about an hour, and then restarted. It would seem as though they are also leaking too much fuel into the cylinder.
I can't begin to tell you how frustrated I am with this at this point. I'm now looking at having to tear everything apart for a 5th time, and replace 5 more of your injectors with my 14yr old functioning ones just to get it running properly again. I'm doing this, because I can't have the truck sitting in my driveway for 2 weeks, waiting for USPS and Canada post to get you your refurbs back so I can get a full refund, and I can't afford to pay another $190.00 for a refurbed injector from the local parts store. I've recently been let go (Company Restructuring) from a job that I have worked at for the better part of the last decade, and have to watch my spending right now.
I'm really disappointed that this transaction has gone this way. I'm always willing to give private businesses my money, over large companies, because I know that these owners are hard working, dedicated, individuals who truly care about their customers and their reputations.
I'm thankful for the partial refund, but would be grateful if you would refund the retail for 5 of your injectors, as I will only be using 1. Eitherway, my paypal address is: PAYPAL EMAIL
Thanks again for your consideration in this matter.
Rob."
We'll see what he says.
